Name: If I had a choice in the matter, my name would be Lord Captain Super Awesome Double Bacon Cheese Burger Ultra Warrior Magic Man of the Ultimate Eagle Force of Doom! But you can call me Fiddlesticks. That's what my older brother calls me. But if you value your life DO NOT ASK ME WHY I AM CALLED FIDDLESTICKS! CAPICE!?

Appearance: I'm a ripped super hero with the muscles of Thor, the brains of Ironman, and the combined awesomeness of both! I hate gym class though, I'm always picked last for sports. The kids always call me jelly belly in the locker room. I may have little bit of extra fat but beneath that extra fat hides extra glory! Oh yeah, I also have brown eyes, slightly tanned skin, black hair, and I'm not short! Maybe a little short....

Species name and description: I'm just a regular old human. Well, humanish. I do have very large pointed ears and massive eyes. My eyes are like the size of grape fruits. That's what I'm told anyway. What's a grapefruit? Most "normal" humans are like two heads taller than me. People ask me what I am all the time. I just tell em I'm Lord Captain Super Awesome..... At that point they lose interest and wonder off.

Favourite side dish: My favourite side dish to your amazing honey braised ribs are your sweet and crunchy sweet potato fries! We do get free ribs and fries on this thing right?

Useful skills and abilities: I can work your engines like a cat works a fiddle! Yeah, I admit, the Henderson Ribs space ship engine is pretty much like a simple toy compared to other engines. But you know what? I can take that baby apart then put it back together in my sleep! He he he XD!

An inspirational quote that sums up your characters personally: Everything is better with extra cheese and bacon.

Forgot to add, this is important. If we get ten gold stars then that wipes away the angry emojis and vice versa.

If I may @Hylozoist I would like to run a previous idea by you again. Don't worry, it's not loaded with scary stuff this time. Scary stuff like math. We're here to have fun whilst spreading the word about our mouth watering ribs right? Not go to school! I mean, give me a scary insect alien monster thing to deal with any day. No offence Tik-Tak @Hank and The Will @DracoLunaris

This time, I have simplified it to a kids game. This idea rehashing is closer to your original idea about earning prizes. Perhaps we should keep the prizes personal, whacky, and useful in obvious and unobvious ways. We shouldn't let the prizes be game breaking though.

First, we must divide what we use into equipment types. A couple of examples are as follows.

Ship awesomeness: engines, armour plating, quarters, and ship luxuries etc.

Ship firepower: The ship lasers, missiles, space mines, and assorted ship weaponry.

Rib Trekkie Explorer: This includes space suits, carry bags, universal translators etc.

Rib Trekkie fighter: Blaster pistols that only stun and sting at worst, clubs to fend off meanies etc.

We can add couple of more if needed.

Here's the thing. Each time we use a piece of equipment to solve a problem, it's equipment category gets a star. If we get ten stars then Hendersons ribs will upgrade all of the equipment in that category into slightly better versions of themselves. This cycle repeats ad infinitum, each cycle upgrading our stuff more and more.

But, and this is a big but! If we use a piece of equipment to do something bad or just plain irresponble then the category will get a red angry emoticon. Ten red angry emoticons and the equipment category gets downgraded. As well as fun, friendship, adventure, and the goodness of Henderson Ribs, I would like to think that Henderson Ribs also teaches responsibility.

So to summarise. Ten gold stars means equipment gets better. Ten angry emojis means that equipment gets worse. They are recorded so don't think you can pull a fast one!

It's not too hard right, right!? Oh god I'm doing it again aren't I!?

Garden of Shadow (Horror, Human Mutations, and Monsters) [ADV]

Thanks for the info @NuttsnBolts. I have a couple of more questions. Firstly, where do I submit my character sheet? Secondly, when does the game start?

Garden of Shadow (Horror, Human Mutations, and Monsters) [ADV]

Seems interesting. I have a couple of questions though. How long do you want our posts to be and how much time of inactivity is tolerated before our characters are axed? Amazing artwork btw!

I will submit a character sheet when more people show interest.

RPGN Rebirth: Issue #4 15/11/2016

Hey there! Long time fan of the site! Don't get to take part in many Rps though. Here's how I make characters. To me, characters are stories themselves. So they're like stories within stories. Ideally, for me, the character story drives the greater story. Not the other way around. Just my humble opinion.

Interplanetary Space Friends - A Game About Space Adventures, Friendship and Fast Food

I understand @Hylozoist. I almost made this friendship taste adventure into an advanced RP. Sometimes I get a bit carried away :s. It's just that I find it so fun expanding on simple ideas! Letting my mind go nuts! Don't worry, I will try not to make things more complicated. My character is an engineer so I can't help it sometimes heh heh. So to clarify, our adventure is a corporate sponsored scout troop thing purely for advertising purposes? I can totally get into that. We can have our characters randomly do commercials for Hendersons Ribs like in The Truman Show whenever there are cameras and people around. Really ham it up there!

Also, I like your idea of a minor super villain. Can it be like the super villain from Space Dandy and Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Where he has his scenes and he knows about our crew but we never meet nor interact and he just becomes a side gag? Or will he be like the Ice King from Adventure Time? Where we do encounter him sometimes but he's only mildly inconvenient and just wants to be loved by us?

Also, here's my possible origin story as to why I'm a part of the crew. Here goes. One day I received a letter in the mail. Old fashioned right? But if it's by snail mail, then you know it's official. Anyway, it turned out that it was an invitation to the Henderson Ribs Space Camp. It said I was chosen to be one of their space cadets. "For great demonstrations of cranial prowess" it said. Later on I found out that it was because I got the highest score on the Henderson Ribs themed Tetris game on their website. Super mega awesome right!?

Well, it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, they made me do boring maths. But here's the awesomely amazing thing. The more maths I did, the cooler the machines I could play with! (This is the shorter version).

If I'm being annoying then shine the bat signal into the air. The caped crusader is always able to calm me down, with a vengeance!

I have an idea for a simple (relatively simple anyway) rpg style economic system we could us for this game@Hylozoist.

Each of our missions or quests could end with an economics report. On this report it will be recorded how much money we earned on the mission, how much money we spent within and over budget, what resources we used, how effective those use of resources were, and general customer satisfaction.

A monthly Henderson Ribs corporate wide economics report could be drafted as well. This would contain data compiled from our missions such as use of resource use, use of budgets etc. This monthly report will determine which divisions and subdivisions within the Henderson Rins corporation gets more funding than others.

For example, if we use the ship to solve our problems like flying away or using our power systems to help others in some way then corporate will determine that research and development of better engines or power systems would be worth more funding. More funding for ship engineering R&D, the better the upgrades for our ship will be. If we use our cannons and missiles to solve many of our problems then corporate will determine that weapons development will need more funding from the company's monthly earnings. The more funding weapons R&D will get the better the upgrades available for weapons for our ship. I hope you're understanding what I'm laying down here. It may seem complex but it's simpler an you think. We just need to crunch a few numbers every now and then.

I will draft an economics report form later.

Thank you @Hylozoist. Have fun at your party! Be sure to introduce yourself to people you don't know. That's what parties are for! You can talk and hang out with your friends any other day of the week. If you encounter people that are just there to not talk to anyone and make fun of people then, truly, they're the losers that shouldn't be there. The take away from this paragraph would be to use this opportunity to expand your social circle. But I'm sure you already know all this.

Anyways, I did imagine Hendersons ribs to be a megacorporation. It would be interesting to see how these various divisions come into play on our tasty journey. Perhaps some get more funding than others for various reasons and are more reliable because of it. Perhaps what we do will have an impact in what divisions get granted more funding by the Henderson Ribs board of directors. Keep the ideas coming!

I look forward to reading it, and as you're the very first person to express an interest in the noble position of "Engineer", it shall be yours. Use this power wisely! Wisely, I say.

hylozoist

I feel, uhh, what's that H word? Uhh humoured? Hammered? Yes! That's the most awesome one! Alright, here goes! I am hammered to be your ships engineer on this tasty journey of ribs, fries, and friendship! Onward to adventure!
